durden_xml is a simple xmerl frontend which enables using XML-namespaces the way they should be used.

Examples:

-define(XML_NS_XHTML, "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml").
RootNode = ?xml:node({"html", ?XML_NS_XHTML}, [], [
	?xml:node({"head", ?XML_NS_XHTML}, [], []),
	?xml:node({"body", ?XML_NS_XHTML}, 
		[{"onload", "alert('Actually I wouldn't do this in real life')"}], 
		["Hello there!"])
]).
NamespacesImported = ?xml:imp_ns(?XML_NS_XHTML, "xh").
?xml:render(
	?xml:set_omit_prefixes(NamespacesImported, true)
).

The latter code will produce the following XML:
<xh:html xmlns:xh="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<head/>
	<body onload="alert('Actually I wouldn't do this in real life')" />
</xh:html>

* Namespaces are resolved into the prefixes while rendering only
* NS-prefixes can be optionally omitted when the element shares the same namespace as its parent node.
* Attributes' values and elements' text can be specified as ?xml:qname(NCName, NSName) - they will be resolved into NS:NCN during render
